Full of charm and character. I loved the connection with Alfred Wainwright.

This place is steeped in Wainwright history so is a perfect place to stay is your doing the Coast to Coast or any other walking in the area. The beds a comfortable, the rooms are big and the view from our window was gorgeous. The owners are delightful and extremely helpfuland the honesty bar was an added bonus.

Perhaps more light in the bedroom would be beneficial. Everything else was excellent.

We loved the location,it was excellent for local walks etc. The property itself is very well maintained and caters extremely well for walkers having a drying room and thoughtful mats for muddy shoes and boots alike. Our bedroom was a lovely double with a view over the beck and also had a single bed which was ideal. Ensuite attached with powerful modern shower. The owners are very attentive and recommended ideal places for us to eat. There is a well stocked honesty bar downstairs and a lovely separate sitting room with TV, board games and a whole multitude of books. Breakfast was cooked to order and was plentiful. They can also you a packed lunch if required. Great place and good value for money.

My room was cold

The hosts were really welcoming and helpful. The location was great, unfortunately nowhere to get an evening meal in Patterdale so we had to walk to the next village. My room was cold. Breakfast okay but no more. Lovely homemade marmalade

Nothing, it was all great.

This is a lovely place to stay. The location is stunning. We were made to feel welcome & the owner gave us lots of local information & places to eat. The room was clean, comfortable and warm. The view amazing. The shower was powerful and the bathroom clean and modern. Everything worked and fitted to a high standard. There was a good choice for breakfast, and cooked to perfection, with a stunning array of local jams and marmalades. The owner was most helpful and even let us park our car for the morning after we checked out so we could go on a cycle ride and let us change out of our wet clothes on our return. Would highly recommended a stay at Old Water View 😊

Our stay was brilliant. Our hosts could not have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating, we were able to request sandwiches for our lunches. The property was very homely and clean. Loved the lounges and the breakfast room. The honesty bar was very unique and so nice to have as you did not feel you needed to stay out to have drink especially after a long day walking. Drying room facilities were excellent and well used as weather was very wet! Our breakfast was excellent too.

Gorgeous bnb located in a great location, for anyone wanting to explore ullswater or walking helvellyn and surrounding peaks. Comfy beds in a clean and cosy room. Great breakfast to set you up for your day ahead and the offer of sandwiches to be made for your next day. Would stay again.

The lack of a seat in the room was unhelpful. There was no central light, and the bedside /table lights were barely suitable for reading by. You have to ask for handtowels, as they are not automatically supplied. Stupidly large key fob, that is so long you have to keep it in a bag, as sitting down with it in your trouser pocket is uncomfortable. Single bed was a bit lumpy.

Lovely position, some superb views, with large room in a well appointed hotel/guest house. The staff/owners were efficient polite, helpful, and attentive. Breakfast was well cooked and had good quality ingredients. There were libraries of books related to Lakeland walking etc, and also of modern fiction books available for guests. There is a very pleasant outdoor seating area at the rear, with outdoor bar serving drinks, and basic food (baked potatoes). The shower was very pleasant. There is a boot room for walkers. There is an indoor bar with fruit, chocolate bars, and crisps available 24/7 (you sign up if you buy out of hours).

Only a small comment, having a time slot of breakfast, but I understand due to the hotel being booked full

Lovely B + B, slightly on the expensive side, but great stay. Love the honesty bar and outdoor area. The hosts were very welcoming.

Nothing, everything was fantastic! Thank you

The B&B is in a lovely location, quiet and leafy but close to Patterdale. The owners are friendly and around when you need them. The room we had was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, local produce and home made jams. We were in the area for a wedding and left feeling like we'd been on holiday because our stay here was so good. We couldn't fault anything and would definitely recommend. We're hoping to be able to come back again in future.
